MTG Warns MAGA They’re About to Lose Women Over Jeffrey Epstein

Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is blasting the MAGA right for alienating women from the Republican Party.The MAGA loyalist turned Trump critic called out influencers on the right on Sunday for “mocking the seriousness of women who were trafficked and raped as teenagers and young women,” saying they “look like cult fools.”“Good luck trying to get women to vote for Republicans in the midterms you insensitive clowns. The Republican Party already has a woman voting problem,” Greene wrote on X. “Keep mocking those of us who take rape and pedophilia seriously and demand accountability for corruption.”As the government has released more files related to Jeffrey Epstein, many on the MAGA right have sought to defend the Trump administration by attacking Epstein’s victims or minimizing his crimes. It’s ironic that Trump’s base once embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory of a cabal of deep-state pedophiles running the government, with Trump as a crusader against them.The revelations that Donald Trump was closer to Epstein than he let on, and that his advisers, from Steve Bannon to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, were too, has divided MAGA. White nationalist influencer Nick Fuentes, for example, has called out the Trump administration for lying and engaging “in a cover-up which failed.” Other MAGA influencers are now openly calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s resignation.But Republican leaders such as House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune have continued to back the president. Bondi’s flippant dismissal of Epstein survivors during her Senate testimony last week has already become a damning indictment of the Trump administration’s complete disregard for Epstein’s victims, and by extension, women who have suffered from sexual assault.

Report: The DOJ Has Only Released a Tiny Fraction of the Epstein Files

Attorney General Pam Bondi claims that the Trump administration has released all of the government’s files on Jeffrey Epstein—but a new analysis suggests that they’ve published only 2 percent. In emails reviewed by Channel 4 News, federal investigators discussed the massive amount of data that had been seized from Epstein’s properties, including his home in Palm Beach, Florida, his townhouse in New York City, and of course, “pedophile island”—also known as Howard Lutnick’s favorite family vacation spot.“We expect the data to be somewhere around 20-40 [terabytes],” one investigator wrote in an email dated June 2020, noting that the total capacity of the devices seized from Epstein’s properties was around 40 to 50 terabytes.In another email dated March 2025, an investigator suggested that there was “a total of approximately 14.6 Terabytes of archived data to unpack.” That would be equivalent to roughly 15,000 gigabytesSo, how many gigabytes of data did the Department of Justice eventually release? Only 300 gigabytes—or just 2 percent of the data investigators had previously discussed.In a letter to lawmakers Saturday, Bondi claimed that the government had “released all ‘records, documents, communications and investigative materials’” related to Epstein. She also claimed that no records were withheld “on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity,” and included a ludicrous list of 130 “politically exposed persons,” which included multiple dead celebrities.

Republicans Are Suddenly Very, Very Worried About Holding the Senate

With midterms on the horizon, Republicans fear their party is heading toward disaster—in the Senate as well as the House of Representatives.Some Senate Republicans are sounding the alarm that the caucus is not addressing critical issues ahead of the 2026 election season, namely affordability, which is predicted to be the top issue come November.The party has failed to pass major policy wins beyond Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act last July, suffering from a razor-thin legislative majority in Congress that has fractured at nearly every juncture, including basic government funding packages. And the possibility of pushing another GOP bill to curry favor with voters seems slim—just last week, Trump told his caucus that Republicans had “gotten everything passed that we need.”“We’re not going to win the midterm by going to the American people and saying, ‘Look, we passed 11 out of 12 appropriations bills and we confirmed all of President Trump’s nominees,’” Louisiana Senator John Kennedy told The Hill. “The American people don’t care. That’s not what, when moms and dads lie down to sleep at night and can’t—that’s not what they’re worried about. They’re worried about the cost of living.“In their minds, they’re tired of selling blood plasma to go grocery shopping,” Kennedy said.The 2026 agenda isn’t conducive to another legislative overhaul, either. This year earmarks significantly more time for lawmakers to spend in their home states than in Washington, a major departure from the 2025 calendar. That’s forced Republicans to focus on bills that absolutely must pass, such as government funding efforts, the farm bill, and the National Defense Authorization Act.The shift in priorities has left conservative lawmakers to fend for themselves, more fixated on the advertising efforts of their individual campaigns than working as a party to pass more legislation that would sway their districts.“Are we doing enough? We’re not doing anything,” Senator Tommy Tuberville, who is campaigning in Alabama’s gubernatorial race, remarked to The Hill. “Everybody’s working on getting elected.” Top Republicans are hitching their wagon to the aging success of the OBBA, hoping that the mid-2025 legislation can still win at the ballot box a year and a half after the fact.Meanwhile, Republicans are losing on a host of critical issues: The White House has so far failed to meaningfully address the fact that Trump was named in the Epstein files tens of thousands of times; the cost of living is boiling over; a conservative stonewall fueled the longest government shutdown in U.S. history; and immigration—the party’s terra firma—has buckled since ICE agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in January.
